Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease in preclinical studies. Direct evidence that this extends to humans is lacking.
Abstract Aims Here, we aimed to determine the therapeutic effect of longevity-associated variant (LAV)-BPIFB4 gene therapy on atherosclerosis. Methods and results ApoE knockout mice (ApoE−/−) fed a high-fat diet were randomly allocated receive LAV-BPIFB4, wild-type (WT)-BPIFB4, or empty vector via adeno-associated viral injection. The primary endpoints study assess (i) vascular reactivity (ii) atherosclerotic disease severity, by Echo-Doppler imaging, histology ultrastructural analysis....
Aim: To assess the medium and long-term performance of Endurant stent graft in a cohort consecutive patients treated with this device for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) both inside outside instructions use (IFU) to find factors influencing outcomes. Methods: Our observational, retrospective, single-center study included all who consecutively underwent endovascular repair from February 2009 January 2023. Patients AAA treat according current guidelines were included. divided into two...
Background: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the preferred treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). This study evaluated differences between anticipated and actual achieved proximal sealing zones standard EVAR endografts their potential implications in a real-world AAA population. Methods: Data from 275 consecutive patients treated with Endurant endograft (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) 2009 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The zone was calculated preoperatively (target...
Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a growing public health problem due to its high and increasing prevalence worldwide. PAD responsible for several severe complications that affect the quality of life (QoL) affected patients. Social determinants (SDHs) cover five areas: economic stability, education access, quality, care access neighborhood built environment, social community context. This study aims investigate SDHs-related outcomes better understand their potential role in...
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate how different proximal aortic neck hostility factors affect outcomes patients with abdominal aneurysm (AAA) undergoing endosuture repair (ESAR) in a real-world setting.METHODS: Our observational, retrospective, single-center included all who consecutively underwent ESAR from October 2015 2022 at our Institution. Patients were divided into two groups; necks <10 mm length group 1 "Short" and tapered, dilated, angulated aggregated 2 "Other."...
Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) using first-generation single-layer stents is widely accepted as a good alternative to standard carotid endarterectomy (CEA) but it associated with worse outcomes in terms of both plaque prolapse and cerebral embolization. Aim: To evaluate the perioperative midterm CAS new-generation RoadsaverTM dual-layer micromesh-covered stent. Methods: Herein, we present results an observational, retrospective, multicentric study on non-consecutive patients who...
An aortocaval fistula (ACF) is a rare complication of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and constitute <1% all AAAs, which increases from 2% to 6.7% in ruptured AAAs. Unlike other ruptures, most ACFs are not associated with significant blood loss on admission. The traditional treatment strategy has been open surgery, high mortality rate. Endovascular repair performed; however, the results difficult interpret due low incidence absence cases reported long follow-up duration. We report case...
Abstract OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on acute and elective thoracic abdominal aortic procedures. METHODS Forty departments shared their data procedures between January May 2020 in Europe, Asia USA. Admission rates as well delay from onset symptoms to referral were compared. RESULTS No differences number observed reference period [incidence ratio (IRR): 0.96, confidence interval (CI) 0.89–1.04; P = 0.39]. Also, no difference time was...
Persistent Sciatic Artery (PSA) is a rare congenital arterial disease. Patients presenting this condition carry high risk of acute limb ischemia and ensuing lower loss. Although several treatment options have been described published, mutual consensus concerning optimal management has not yet established. Two distinguished cases successful hybrid repair the left PSA in 50-year-old man an 89-year old woman at our institution are reported herein. Both patients presented emergency department...
The exposure of prosthetic vascular graft is a dangerous complication in revascularization procedures. In this case report, we describe successful coverage an exposed femorofemoral the suprapubic area, with vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) island flap.
(87.5%) with EVAR and 10 (12.5%) treated “open” surgery) 16 (16.6%) in urgency (two of these 14 surgery).
Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) is a rare, often asymptomatic disease (0.1% incidence in general population) and can be incidentally diagnosed during an abdominal imaging workup. The traditional, gold standard of treatment open surgery, carrying with it, however, high risk nephrectomy, mortality, collateral morbidity. endovascular approach currently the most valid alternative to treating RAAs reducing, as it does, risks associated surgical approach/open surgery. Herein we report on our...
Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a non-invasive imaging modality that has revolutionized the diagnosis and management of arterial dissection endoleak. It allows for high-resolution lumen wall, as well visualization flow dynamics within vessel. Several studies show utility CTA in Most analyzed retrospective have sensitivity 98.7% specificity 97.4% detecting aortic when compared to reference standard surgical pathology or clinical follow-up. Similarly, with patients who undergoing...
